It is "under construction" at the moment - I have a rendering coming in the next couple weeks, will post.
It's currently a 6 cylinder automatic car, getting a 302 2-barrel (on purpose) and a 4-speed (Toploader), again, on purpose. Sticking with stock front suspension geometry, stock leaf rear on the Ford 8" axle. If I can get the weight to around 3100 lbs I'll be happy, since I'm not doing any massive weight-shedding in the build process. End goal is a vintage NASCAR vibe.
Sounds like a nice project on your hands. Pretty sure that would be the 3.3 I-6 in it and most likely a C3 or C4? auto, borrowed from the Maverick/Comet which at the time probably made somewhere under 100hp

If its the 200(3.3l) it would be rocking 88hp. Grenada's were available with the 250 though. Radial TA's are garbage for traction in any condition.
